This seems perverse. You want to focus a user input field, but disable the input method? Why? – Bobo

Answer 1

When submitting a form, at times, the iOS Keyboard may not automatically close. This is quite a usability issue as Users should not be required to manually close the Keyboard for use-cases in which they would otherwise not expect the need do so.

A simple solution for this can be implemented by invoking the blur method on document.activeElement, which effectively allows one to programmatically hide the keyboard:

// automatically close the keyboard on iOS
document.activeElement.blur();

Answer 3

From here

var hideKeyboard = function() {
    document.activeElement.blur();
    $("input").blur();
};

Edited : another option

$('.clr').after('
        //<input tyep="checkbox" 
        <input type="checkbox"
               id="focusable" 
               style="height:0;
               margin- left:-200px;
               clear:both;" />');
$('#focusable').focus(); `

Answer 4

Is this oversimplifying? :

<input id="x" inputmode="none" value="x">

I tangled with scripts for hours, and found this was a simpler and more reliable way to hide the keyboard when the input was being used for other stuff.
